What color is Benjamin Moore Jet Black?

Benjamin Moore Jet Black 2120-10 is a near-black charcoal with a subtly softened appearance rather than an absolute, inky black. Its #333334 value keeps it very deep, so it can read almost black in dim rooms and reveal more charcoal character when daylight or direct lighting reaches the surface. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, trim, or a single accent wall where a strong dark outline is wanted without making every plane disappear. Pair it with warm white walls, pale oak, brushed brass, or honed stone to give the depth some contrast. In a larger, well-lit room, this shade can also ground full walls with a clean, graphic look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 4.71%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
